Yeah, but most social sciences are nowhere near the standards that physics imposes on what it holds to be true. That's not a flack. It's inherent to the nature of the social sciences. Since every individual is part of a complex social system, it's incredibly hard to make repeatable experiments to test assumptions in the same way that physicists do every day for breakfast.

It doesn't matter how complex a studied phenomenon; if proper methods are not used, it is not science. Both astrology and astronomy can study the same stars -- the difference is in methods they use (and only one is science).
